Hashtags are now supported in the NodeBB-ActivityPub integration
-
Content discoverability is a topic that comes up occasionally in fediverse-related discussions, as many of the big ActivityPub implementations don't automatically curate posts for their users. Following other users is the easiest way to discover more content, but using hashtags is another, as they can be easily searched.
NodeBB supports hash tagging at the topic level, and so today's update will automatically tag any incoming topics, and federate out hashtags for the OP only.
Unlike other implementations, however, there is no local capability to tag posts, and so hashtags used in replies will not federate out.

@crazycells thanks for reporting. In the meantime, you can copy the link from the timestamp.

The "copy permalink" issue doesn't seem to refer to the incorrect link anymore, but even so, you're able to use that link as a shorthand to get to a post within a topic.
Not exactly the nicest looking of URLs but it will function as intended.

@julian is it updated on this forum? Because I am still getting a "not found" page when I copied the second or third post of this topic...

@crazycells you're passing the naked url which is not correct. You have to run it through
encodeURIComponent()before using it as an url fragmentNote the % ended symbols in my post above
Ah, if you mean via the menu, I suppose that needs to be fixed.
